I need to get a CXXXXX code into column A for every line that I have in my data table. Some of the rows already have the code in column A. In other rows accross columns B - F I have 1 of 2 possibilities:


(a) the CXXXXX code in column D, and/or
(b) a transaction code in columns B or F (transaction code always begins with number 1).


Table below represents data.

<strike></strike>I am looking for a formula (or some other method) to get the CXXXXX codes into column A. So far I have come up with 2 formulas:

The first looks for any CXXXXX code in column D and copies the code. This formula is in column G:
=IFERROR((IFS((LEFT(A1,1))="C",A1,(LEFT(D1,1))="C",D1),0)


The second looks for the transaction code in columns B & F, and then does a lookup to find the CXXXXX code in another sheet that contains all transaction numbers. This is my formula (in column H):
=IF(G1=0,VLOOKUP((IFS((LEFT(B1,1))<>0,B1,(LEFT(F1,1))>0,F1)),Orders!A:B,2,FALSE),"Check")


Can anyone recommend a way to combine these 2 formulas, or a better way to get column A populated?

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.

Try this in Column G

=IF(A2<>"",A2,IF(LEFT(D2,1)="C",D2,IF(CONCATENATE(TRIM(B2),TRIM(C2),TRIM(E2),TRIM(F2))<>"",VLOOKUP(VALUE(CONCATENATE(TRIM(B2),TRIM(C2),TRIM(E2),TRIM(F2))),Orders!A:B,2,FALSE),"Check")))

Thank you for this, I can't use concatenate because combined values do not exist in my lookup tables.

Click to expand...

In Your example there was only one value on a row for columns B and greater so concatenating several blanks and a value together worked for me.
Did you actually try it?
